Our neighbor (not a birder) to whom I showed the pictures of the Owl yesterday came by today having seen it (as others were also observing it) on Hy 42 on an electric line post. He said there were other observers lining the road. I just want to go off topic to say that the Ellison Bay businesses that are staying open could use a little help these lean winter days. Pioneer Store has a variety of snacks and often has fresh sandwiches. The owner stays open 365 days a year. Brew Coffee opposite has people in playing their guitars Mondays, and there is the Mink River Basin - good food and no doubt the game will be on the TV. I hope these suggestions will not be against the rules and a little nearer to the Owl than Sister Bay. The famous Clearing School is on Garret Bay Rd on the left going a little further north by the decorated truck and old gas station. It will hold Winter Classes starting on Monday. Often Merlins are observed near the Gift store there.
